| Title | Normalized Difference Vegetation Index | |||
| Abstract | A Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicates where live vegetation is located on the landscape. This NDVI was calculated for the period of June 2015 through Febuary 2018 at a resolution of 10 meters. | |||
| Purpose | Vegetation presence assessment. | |||

| Lineage | Developed using Google Earth Engine Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. For more information on the Sentinel-2 imagery: https://explorer.earthengine.google.com/#detail/COPERNICUS%2FS2
Script used to derive data: https://code.earthengine.google.com/774e4ed152e4651971dc6e9456998d17 Methods: This is a composite image where each pixel is selected based on the NDVI function (NIR-Red/NIR+Red). This composite thus represents the highest NDVI for every pixel for that location captured by Sentinel-2. Funding Development of this data was supported by a direct appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature to the Natural Resources Research Institute as part of the Minnesota Mining and Water Innovation Initiative. | |||
